We bought our first composter recently, the Urban Compost Tumbler. While reading through the directions, I had a bit of confusion. It recommends fully loading the composter and not adding additional compostable materials once you’ve completed the initial load. I’m hoping to find out what other folks who use compost tumbler do to manage their compost queue.
We only have one compost tumbler, and don’t plan on buying a second one. Is this a feasible approach? Do you just add new compost material to the tumbler frequently until you’re almost ready to harvest the compost? Do you keep it in a separate garbage can prior to putting it in the tumbler? Some other approach?
In terms of the actual compost material, we’re pretty set, and already have our first batch.
Your thoughts and input appreciated!
